In his view, billions of fake accounts are fuelling a digital civil war in modern society, stirring hatred among real users.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;The risk in cyberspace is that I can mobilize a billion fake people and spark a civil war, forcing fake Republicans to hate real Democrats,&#8221; he explained.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In his view, artificial intelligence will make deepfakes cheaper and far harder to detect. He says more than 2,000 bots sign up to his Twitter account every day.<\/p>\n<p>As the basis for tackling the problem, Saylor cited the technology of decentralized identifiers (DID). The system involves verifying identity before posting by sending a small amount of digital assets.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;If someone wanted to deploy a billion bots on Twitter, it would cost them a billion transactions [&#8230;]. By combining the power of cryptography with decentralised networks such as Bitcoin, we can bring costs and consequences into cyberspace,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A similar product is being developed by OpenAI chief Sam Altman with his Worldcoin project.
